Arrived in Sydney today to be greeted by a warm welcome at the City’s 30 acre botanical gardens – an invitation to sit on the grass, smell the roses and chill out with the wildlife. These beautiful gardens have over million preserved plant specimens including some exceptionally rare examples collected at Botany Bay in 1770 by Joseph Banks http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/welcome_to_bgt/royal_botanic_gardens/fast_facts
Not difficult to feel relaxed in this amazing city which has plenty to offer its 4.5 million population. Sydney is not only visually a very green city but has even more ambitious plans to become an environmental example to other cities in the world:

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
